LEÃO IS THE MVP FROM AC MILAN v SAMPDORIA

He's an extraordinary player and is showing that this season like never before. Rafael Leão scored and decided the game: Sampdoria are just the latest in a long line of victims. The Portuguese star won it for AC Milan with a sublime opener. Three massive points and a dazzling display from the youngster. His performance was applauded by San Siro and the fans have chosen him as their MVP. Leão received 60% of the votes, ahead of Maignan, Bennacer and Florenzi.

Rafa has now reached ten goals in all competitions (and six assists). It was also his second consecutive game with a goal after Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter-final. He's in great form right now, which has been key for the Rossoneri. He is also adept at breaking the deadlock: he has scored six league goals this season, four of which have been the opener. In 57 minutes against Samp, he completed 19 progressive passes, four recoveries, three progressive long balls and two dribbles.
